Cut dog need some advice

bright red is arterial. his coradid (sp) may have a slight puncture. when he is out running around, his heart is beating fast, and the the artery aint healed enough to take the blood pressure. the knot is more than likely a combo of swelling in the area from the cut, and blood being forced out through the lil hole in his artery.

i would stop letting him run around, every time he does, the clot breaks apart and opens the hole back up. leave him in his kennel, keep him hydrated, keep his wound clean and doctored, and keep feed for him and let him rest.

it aint gonna stop till the nicked artery heals its self, or u can take him to the vet and have the vet put a couple dissolving sutures on the artery. but even the vet will tell u to stop letting him run around.

if ur neck artery was nicked and u were pumping bright red blood, the docs would tell u to lay up for a while till the wound heals.
